Finally someone speaking the truth. Fyi the parade is not for Trump, I'm not a supporter of him either,The U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade, held in Washington, D.C. on June 14, 2025, is estimated to have cost between $25 million and $45 million. Some reports suggest the cost could be as high as $92 million, including $13 million for police expenses alone, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.

In general (and with no sympathy to Trump), it wouldn't be uncommon for some date to become important only decades or centuries after, when some event was post-facto decided to have "started" there. Famously US govt spent a lot of money for getting the map that first named the continent "America", as it was seen as "start" of the federation.
